On July 20th 2017 Izolyatsia is proud to present the exhibition An Outward Glance: Christoper Makos on Andy Warhol’s Epoch, by the acclaimed American photographer and lifelong Warhol friend Christopher Makos. 20 original photographs on display will provide an intimate though accurate panorama of the glorious artistic scene of the 70s and 80s in New York. Juxtaposed with Altered Images series they will calibrate the epoch, when pop art and punk were born.

Miller Gallery is excited to announce that The Hilton Brothers, Christopher Makos and Paul Solberg, will be returning to Cincinnati for a highly anticipated solo show this Spring. Light and fresh in nature, this photography based show is composed of never before seen original images from pivotal points in both artists’ careers.

Begun in the earliest years of his career with subjects such as Halston and Andy Warhol, these portraits constitute perhaps the most individual and original formal innovation Makos has contributed to his chosen discipline, .and are very much part of his long-held interest in the use of multiple perspectives and repetition to achieve his objective.

Accommodating Reform traces the development of international hotel architecture in early Reform-era China (1978-90). International hotels lay at the core of China’s efforts to spur economic development while limiting the potential for political destabilization. In theory, these spaces offered new, liberalized environments through which foreign capital, ideas, and expertise could be safely decanted over time. In practice, they heralded a series of dramatic ideological and operational transformations that opened China’s major cities, reshaped its built environment, and set the stage for future growth. As physical embodiments of the unprecedented economic engagements taking place, international hotel designs offer insight into the ways Chinese officials, architects, and planners worked to define, articulate, and control the contours of the country’s new agenda.

Everything is a comprehensive survey of Makos' photographic work from 1973 to the present. As Peter Wise writes, it is a collection of images "so distinctly of a particular moment that a whole context is encapsulated" that communicate "something singular about a cultural moment."

The Last Party is a show which will celebrate the creative ferment which exploded in New York’s club culture in the mid 70s, which is to say after our emergence from the Watergate and the Vietnam War. It was a phenomenon that spread world-wide and the exhibition will reference this. It waned in the early 90s and the show will also examine the reasons for this. Our opening will be on June 17th and we will run clear through to August 23rd 2015.

Lord & Taylor, Manhattan Magazine, and Glitterati Incorporated invite you to the launch and book signing of, EVERYTHING:Black and White Monograph by Christopher Makos

Christopher Makos traveled widely in Europe, spending time with Man Ray during the great artist’s last birthday celebrations in Fregene, Italy. The master took a special interest in the brash young American and spent the day speaking of a life in photography. Photographs from their day together appear in Everything: The Black and White Monograph, a retrospective of three decades in Makos’ illustrious career.

The oldest photograph in the book was a taken in 1973. It is a single foot, set bare upon the beach in Ditch Plains, Montauk, New York. The journey of a thousand miles had begun. The result is Everything, a wide-ranging survey of his black and white work (many images published here for the first time) that can be seen as a photo-biography, if you will. Here are portraits, landscapes, nudes, snapshots, studio shots, cars, dogs, horses, from Fire Island to Ascot, Mallorca to Moscow, Morocco to Puerta Vallarta, Giza to Palm Springs. Everything stands as a record of the restless, globetrotting life Makos has led, always with camera in hand.
